Far Apart as Ever.

CHICAGO, May 3l.-The indications are
that the strike of the e-moulders is
now over, and that they will return to
work IN few days. The strike here and
IN Cleveland, Detroit and other cities
owes Its origin to the differences which
arose between the moulders and the
bridge i Beach Stove company. of St.
Louis. The latter refused to accede to
the demands of the former, strike en-
sued, and the company's patterns were
sent to other cities. The men in these
cities refused TO handle :he patterns, and
a general strike or lockout was the result.
Ihe stove manufacturers some wears ago
formed defensive association. by the
rules OF which each member was obliged
TO handle, If possible, the patterns of
any member whose shop was closed in
consequence of any labor trouble. As
VIII be seen by the following telegram,
the st. Louis shop Is again in rQnniag
order, and has requested the return of
IFS patterns. The bone of contention
being thus removed, it is likely the

GAUDAUR AND HANLAN.
The Great Boat Race at Pullman. H..
Won by the Former.
A Magnificent Exhibition of Rowing,
All Previous Records Being
Broken.
THE ROWING RACE.

Gaudaur Holds the Championship of America
CHICAGO. May 30.-Jacob Gaudaur 20
day defeated Ned Hanlan, the great ex-
champion oarsmau, in q race for the
cham pienshlp of America and $4,000, in
a three mile pull on Calumet lake. Wher
the two men first cane out on the course
the water was little rough but this had
no deterring influence and the start was
made with promptness. Hanlan was at
once trifie in the lead. pulling a short,
quick stroke, forty per minute. Gaudaur
kept close to him with a long
steady sweep, about thirty-eight per
minute. Gradually Hanlan forged ahead
and at the end of the initial mile was full
ly a length III advance. 1t had been said
that if Hanlan conld lead to the turn he
was nearly certain winner, but other
wise would never catch up. Before the
turn was reached the wind suddenly fresh
ened and the rain began to pour. The
lake was soon lumpy from end to end and
the down pour was binding. Hanian
turned first, two lengths ahead. Time
1902. He was pulling about thirty five
strokes minute, and rounding
to, Gaudaur struck about the same gait.
Hanlan kept well to the front until en-
terlng the third mile when he commenced
to flag. His stroke became uneven and
rowing seemed to require great exertien.
Gaudaur was rowing magnifcently with a
long steady sweep but faster. He soon
passed Hanlan. First one, then another,
and at last three lengths between them
could be seen. Hanlan then made tre-
mendous squirt for very short time but
could not stand the pace. He lay back an
saw that he was beaten. Gaudaur
was six lengths away from Han
Ian. Gaudaur then slackened his speed
and passed the stand an easy winner by
four lengths. Time, 20:29. 1t was fine
performance under the adverse condi-
tons. After the race Hanlan said he did
not think the best man won, although he
acknowledged himself fairly beaten He
claimed to have been suffering from a Sc
we're cold, which told upon him at the
citical time. Gaudaur said it was the
hardest race he ever rowed. Hanlan gets
the total gate receipts.
The figures 2O:9 were taken from the
president of the Farragut club, VIII D was
understood to be timekeeper. The timers
on the referees boat, however, agree that
3 miles was made in 1890. This has been
declared official Gaudaur, therefore,
broke the record of the best previous
time, being his own against Teemer over
the same course, 1854.
To night it is announced that Hanlan
also broke his previous record, having
finished in 1884. His hacker says ne
will send Hanlan TO Australia, and if he
defeats Beach will once more pit him
against Gaudaur.

He Was a Thrifty HoOsier


The ladies of Roberts Park church re-
Gently gave dairy maids carnival at
Tomlinsou hall, the proceeds of which
were to go to the church. On the first
evening Of the entertainment the person
referred to appear at the door and at
tempted to enter without ticket. The
doorkeeper stopped him and reminded
him that, as the affair was for the benefit
of the church, he FAUST purchase ticket
at the box Office below. Downstairs the
individual went and asked the price of a
ticket, and was told that they were 25
cents each. The young man felt in all
his pockets, and finally finding no money
exclaimed to the ticket-selier that he had
left his purse at home on the dresser, and
volunteered to give his o = for ticket
the money to be paid in the morning.
This the ticket-seller agreed to, and tho
/ o q was duly drawn up, and the pur-
chaser, with his ticket, went upstairs and
into the hall.
Three quarters of an hour later he left
the hall, taking check from the man at
the door, good for readmission. Going
down to the boxoffice and, handing the
check to the man from whom he origin
ally bought his ticket, he said: 81 have
been so worried over the thought that
have left my purse where thieves might
get il that have been unable to enjoy
myself at all, SO if you will return TO me
my o Z, will rot stay. Here is the
check got at the door" The o Z was
given, and the citizen went on his way
rejoicing.

For some three days before it has reached
its highest point of fermentation, says
Lieatenant Schwatka in the Century, not
a single piece of food is swallowed. At
the end of that period they fill themselves
to their utmost capacity with the unclari-
fed tiz-win. Although half starved, il

before this temporary, stim muiated com

having, when sober, decided to go upon
the warpath, by far the most important
preliminary is the manufacture of huge
quantities of tiz-wIn. Its peculiar com

of taking the liquor, gives it most las

There is much evidence to show that

thing that was necessary to manufacture

lecture not unreaso able. Even in the
caves of the old cliff dwellers of Arizona
there have been found cemented deposits
of corn SO ancient that when disturbed

palpable powder, leaving the cob, singu-
larry enough, as fresh as if it had been
gathered but the harvest before.

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Democrats MarShaling Their Forces To Attack


PHILADELPHIA, May S0.-A special to
the Times says: Secretary Fairchild isse-
rlously contem plating movement, with
the approval of the president and his
colleagues, looking to the concentration
of the democrats in the house of repre-
sentatives and senate upon measure of
tariff reduction. After the experience of
the past two congresses the president is
convinced that but one course remains
open to the democratic party, and that is
the formulation of bill in consultation
with such men as Randall, Carlisle, and
Others, representing the diverse positions
of the democratic sentiment on the sub
Ject COR the purpose of bringing them
together upon common ground of
agreement. The president has seen for
some time that an issue would be made
on the tariff and has urged that it would
be more sagacious to get to work at once
and prepare bill to be submitted to
congress as a measure of the administra-
tlon policy than to let the question play
havoc as fire brand in the ranks of the
party.
